Summary

The second title in David Baldacci's best-selling series, The Forgotten is a fast-paced action thriller, featuring the hero of Zero Day – John Puller.

Criminal investigator John Puller is drawn closer to home when his aunt is found dead in her house in Paradise, Florida. The local police have ruled the death as an accident, but

Puller finds evidence to suggest that she may well have been murdered.

On the surface the town lives up to its name, but as Puller digs deeper he realizes that this town and its inhabitants are more akin to Hell than Paradise. His belief is confirmed as evidence of strange and inexplicable events come to light. And when Puller learns the truth about what is happening in this once sleepy town, he knows that his discoveries will impact far wider than Paradise.

Another winner, David!

Would you listen to The Forgotten: John Puller, Book 2 again? Why?

Doubtful. I don't usually listen to the same book twice.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Puller, of course. He is always so determined to get to the bottom of things, in his own, quiet way.

What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

As with all their work, they really do bring the story to life. I find their voices so easy to listen to.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No one particular emotion. I just enjoyed the whole book.

In good Baldacci style

What a story thrilling from beginning to end. Highlighting a real issue in our society in a captivating way. We should all wake up to the realities of greed

Very good performance on a good to average book

What did you like most about The Forgotten: John Puller, Book 2?

Good popcorn book, whilst not one of the authors better story it is definitely worth a listen when you want to be taken out of the humdrum, but do not want to engage your brain or emotions to any great extent - you will like it, but if you have any pretensions you'll probably hate yourself for doing so

What other book might you compare The Forgotten: John Puller, Book 2 to, and why?

As others have mentioned very similar in tone and texture to both vince Flynn and Lee Childs, not a bad thing in itself
Characters can appear slightly one dimensional at times but the action is present, well thought out and scripted as with these other two authors
The Undeafeatable hero, the nod to legality and the justice system, and then the complete disregard for both of the above, and then victory supplied at the end

What about Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s performance did you like?

Initially the performance did seem slightly dry, but as the book progressed the use of the two person performance and the nature of the written word came together in an effective way which did help to raise the audiobook above what it could/should have been

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not a book to be listened to for an emotional journey, a book to be heard when brain is turned off and you just want to be entertained

Any additional comments?

Worth a listen, and the author is definitely worth investigating esecially his earlier works, which to me are an improvemnt on his later stuff

The Forgotten

I love this second book in the Puller series and do hope that there will be more about this character.



The book is responsible for much missed sleep as I read it in two evenings it was a good storyline with many twists and turns and I found the characters engaging and the narration was a good match for me.

John Puller does it again!

Another great story from David Baldacci. Fast paced, convincing narration & I enjoyed the twist at the end. John Puller is fast becoming my new favorite hero.
